    I’d probably use arch if there was an easy general immutable/atomic version of it. I just don’t trust bleeding edge rolling enough to not have that kind of a safegaurd.

      I use arch with btrfs and a pacman hook, that creates a snapshot before and after every update.

      You can also configure grub to create new entries for those snapshots and boot directly from them.

      For me this is safeguard enough.

          People are starting to use different bootloaders now so I guess that infamous grub issue ended up being a good push for diversity in bootloader.

            Grub has many features & addons that many others are still lacking though. But maybe we’ll see some improvements in that area now as well. Still sucks for an end user.

      It’s a pain. Stuff does break for no reason. I’m a slave to it’s enhanced hardware compatibility and higher success rate at running proton games that are borderline. You just can’t beat the wiki and the community support. It’s too good to not have. But you still run into issues it’s just that I’d be no better off on a different distro.
